CHAPTER 1611: CHAPTER 1611: SOUL SEVERING REALM! THE NINTH LAYER OF SPACE!

Within Fang Bai’s Qi Sea, it was like a vast starry sky, with seven Nascent Souls sitting in a circular formation, their eyes closed.

Each Nascent Soul represented a type of spiritual energy.

As a massive amount of spiritual energy poured into the Qi Sea, the seven Nascent Souls simultaneously began absorbing it.

When the absorbed spiritual energy reached a certain level, the forms of the seven Nascent Souls began to enlarge, and their previously illusory images gradually solidified.

This time, Fang Bai’s cultivation consumed nearly all the cultivation resources within the Five Elements Space Ring, as well as absorbed a significant amount of spiritual energy from the world, finally reaching the requirements for advancing to the next level.

Seven waves of aura spread out like ripples, continuously radiating in all directions, flattening everything around.

With the disappearance of the fluctuations, everything in the world returned to tranquility.

The seven Nascent Souls within Fang Bai’s Qi Sea transformed into Primordial Spirits, reaching the initial stage of the Soul Severing Realm.

After advancing, Fang Bai’s body radiated brilliance, his skin became delicate like a baby’s, as if he had undergone a metamorphosis, and his demeanor acquired an otherworldly quality, making him appear even younger than before.

The seven Primordial Spirits in the Qi Sea, at the moment Fang Bai opened his eyes, also suddenly opened their tightly closed eyes, with seven pillars of dazzling light of different colors merging into Fang Bai’s gaze, shooting straight into the sky, seemingly piercing through it.

Fang Bai’s body quivered slightly, and the seven Primordial Spirits left his Qi Sea, appearing in the eighth layer of space, sitting cross-legged around Fang Bai.

Fang Bai’s gaze swept over the seven Primordial Spirits one by one and nodded in satisfaction, knowing that from this moment on, he had formally entered the Soul Severing Realm.

In this world, the vast majority of martial artists can only transform into one Primordial Spirit after entering the Soul Severing Realm.

However, Fang Bai embodies seven types of Innate Spiritual Roots with his Chaos True Body, and each Innate Spiritual Root can transform into one Primordial Spirit.

The Five Elements Spiritual Root plus the Wind and Thunder Spirit Roots make up seven kinds of spiritual roots, which can translate into seven Primordial Spirits.

After advancing to the Soul Severing Realm, with his body and seven Primordial Spirits, Fang Bai possesses great power, enabling him to crush opponents of the same level in a duel.

Facing a mid-level Soul Severing expert, he can also fight and claim victory.

Against a high-level Soul Severing expert, with the aid of a Spiritual Artifact, he can also prevail.

Facing a Soul Severing Perfection expert, he can contend with them.

In the eighth layer of space, after the advancement to the Soul Severing Realm, Fang Bai can withstand the pressure within the space more easily than his previous life’s arrival at this level.

This advancement has given Fang Bai tremendous confidence, making him feel hopeful about challenging the ninth layer of the Linglong Tower.

After advancing, Fang Bai did not rush to leave the eighth layer of space but continued his cultivation while sitting cross-legged.

Three more days passed, and Fang Bai felt his realm was thoroughly consolidated, then exited his cultivation state.

Within the eighth layer of space, the pressure no longer posed any restrictions or constraints on Fang Bai. As he walked around, he felt light and at ease, able to wield his Spiritual Artifact and fly freely.

To test his combat power, Fang Bai charged around the eighth layer of space, actively seeking out challenges from Spirit Beasts residing in dangerous places.

Within the eighth layer of space, even the weakest Spirit Beasts had reached the Soul Severing Realm, while the strongest were at the Soul Severing Perfection Realm, akin to the massive skull within the great river.

Once again, during a battle with Spirit Beasts of the Soul Severing Perfection Realm, Fang Bai, albeit exerting every effort, still felt it challenging, unable to defeat them, yet no longer needed to hide from the skull in the river, instead able to alternatively attack and defend.

Although Fang Bai found it difficult to defeat the Spirit Beasts of the Soul Severing Perfection Realm, similarly, those Spirit Beasts also found it challenging to suppress him.

During the trials in the eighth layer of space, Fang Bai obtained many cultivation resources, including Royal Grade Green Wood Marrow, and thought that if he encountered Qingzhu Venerable, he would use the Green Wood Marrow to upgrade the Green Bamboo Fan for him, considering a shared bond of fate.

"It’s time to take a look at the ninth layer."

After several days of trials within the eighth layer of space, Fang Bai finally arrived at the steps leading to the ninth layer of space, then, facing increasingly heavy pressure, he climbed one by one up the forty-nine steps, standing at the entrance to the ninth layer of space.

What surprised Fang Bai was that the scenery within the ninth layer differed entirely from the other eight layers.

In the ninth layer of space, everywhere was filled with scenes of thunder and lightning, with bolts striking down along with the sound of thunder, hitting many martial artists, rendering them illusionary.

Among those martial artists struck by lightning, some perished completely, reduced to ashes; while others resisted fiercely, successfully warding off the might of lightning, stepping onto the auspicious path to the Immortal Realm.

"So, the ninth layer of space is practicing the scenario of martial artists crossing the Ninefold Heavy Tribulations..."

Fang Bai gazed at the scene before him, feeling extremely familiar, and understood that the ninth layer of the Linglong Tower is not for martial artists to train, but rather for those climbing it to observe the scene of crossing the Ninefold Heavy Tribulations.

For Soul Severing experts, this is a rare opportunity, as once they break through to the Thunder Tribulation Realm, they will have a clear understanding, avoiding confusion when the time comes, and effectively responding to avoid ending up completely destroyed.

In the Three Thousand Great World, there are billions of martial artists, with Soul Severing Perfection experts advancing to the Thunder Tribulation Realm and undergoing the Ninefold Heavy Tribulations.

Among them, the majority fall under the tribulations, while only a few ultimately ascend to immortality.

Being able to witness the practice of tribulations as an observer in advance is of great benefit to experts.

And this may be the opportunity left for martial artists by the ninth layer of the Linglong Tower.

For Fang Bai, who personally experienced the Ninefold Heavy Tribulations in a previous life, this ninth layer holds little value.

Thinking of Wu De, Wind Roc, Qingzhu Venerable, and the brothers Hu Wei and Hu Zhuang, Fang Bai wondered which layer they had reached, so he returned to the eighth layer, continuing his search for Royal Grade cultivation resources to aid them.

Within the seventh layer of the Linglong Tower, Qingzhu Venerable was engaged in a fierce battle with a high-level Soul Severing Spirit Beast.

That Spirit Beast was a Three-Tailed One-Eyed Wolf.

The Three-Tailed One-Eyed Wolf had steel bones, a powerful body, and could emit a rain of spiritual energy arrows from its single eye, with extremely formidable attack power.

After a long fight with the Three-Tailed One-Eyed Wolf, Qingzhu Venerable left several wounds on it, but his injuries were more serious, and his Spiritual Artifact, the Green Bamboo Fan, was severely clawed by the opponent, causing it to crack and significantly lowering his combat effectiveness, gradually losing the upper hand.

"Is my trial within the tower going to end here? Such a shame I can’t get to the eighth layer to obtain Royal Grade cultivation resources!"

Seeing the continuous, relentless attacks from the Three-Tailed One-Eyed Wolf, Qingzhu Venerable sighed softly, showing a hint of reluctance in his expression.

"I wonder how Brother Fang is faring right now."

Qingzhu Venerable suddenly thought of Fang Bai, wondering if that young fellow’s combat power was comparable to his as a Soul Severing expert. If Fang Bai undertakes trials within this seventh layer of space, it would indeed be a significant opportunity.
